From 2019, May was involved in producing food-oriented videos for DriveTribe spin-off FoodTribe. In June 2020, it became apparent that May was working on a cookery show with Amazon. Amazon confirmed the show in July 2020, announcing that it would be released alongside a book, titled Oh Cook!: 60 Easy Recipes That Any Idiot Can Make.
In press interviews released alongside the first series, May stated that he would like to film a second series of the programme abroad, saying he would be interested in learning how to cook a "proper American breakfast".
